L'ouvrage présente des résultats scientifiques de haute portée : il s'agit de la toute première étude sérielle de la polychromie romaine par analyse physico-chimique (imagerie UV, microscopie, cartographie MA-pXRF).
Le caractère innovant de cette publication tient à ce qu'elle offre une nouvelle source pour étudier la signification culturelle de la couleur, au premier millénaire.
Cinq essais de spécialistes de renommée mondiale et dix études de cas sur la polychromie de la statuaire romaine, d'Arles à Toulouse, de Milan à Ravenne : cet ouvrage offre un panorama exceptionnel et exhaustif d'étude des couleurs perdues, faisant le point sur la convergence des méthodes et des disciplines, dans leurs évolutions et leurs perspectives.
